Having spent this morning on this I have managed to block out the majority of things in maya and am importing them into z-brush as sub tools. Will begin sculpting and texturing once I have all the geometry completed.

hey nice start man. would it not be interesting for future interests that you build it in T-pose?

So you can do like maybe rig it, animate it, create other poses?

But cool man. cant wait to see the finishing results

You are totally correct about rigging it in a T-pose but I have no intentions to animate this. I am just trying texture and render this scene and want some practice with z-brush 3 and sub-tools.

cheers,

Leon

you modeled it in this pose?? i thought it would be easier to model in a T pose just to pose it in general even with no thought of animation and also modelling would be easier.., you only have to model one half in a T pose and then instance it or scale it in the negative direction..,

very fine looking model and the city scape is what im interested in.., hope we see some wires on that!

cool and ambitious..,

take it easy and life will be easy

Coming along nicely so far. I agree about the T-Pose. I highly recommend modeling in a T-Pose for the simple reasons that mirek has stated. For one you just have to model half of it. Also, you don't have to model the flexed muscles.

It can be a pain to try and get it to look right if you're trying to model as is.

On the other hand getting a perfect rig can be more time consuming than modeling both sides. All extreme bending, rotations etc. will have to be messed with a lot to get it look realistic. And in ZBrush it's pretty easy to change a pose anyways even if the model isn't rigged for real.

Cheers for the comments guys much appreciated. With regards to the comments surrounding the pose, she was in a standard T pose. I then I brought her into zbrush to try out the new transpose tool which allows you to pose your character. I am unsure if you can use the transpose with sub tools so then exported the low res back into maya and blocked out the clothing. I may use the other model of her in the t pose to try and create the image from the poster with all those crazy plugs and wires. Still I am going to have to get this done before I can think about that though

Arran, yeah I am going to create some hair as a subtool and will hopefully get a better idea of whats going on.

Cheers,

Leon

This should turn out good.
The character needs alot of work on the proportions. At the moment i think the legs are off and the whole character needs to be a bit thicker (especially around the legs)
it'd probably be easier to model it in the T pose (in my opinion) but whatever works for you is fine.

i dont know if you are familiar with anime, but the japanese characters/drawings always have longer legs then human like characters.

And this image looks like anime

Have begun blocking out the city. Still a lot of work to do on the buildings although I am going to try and keep them as simple as possible. I hope that the lighting and texturing will gave them the look I am hoping to achieve.
